On Cooperation with Theological Opponents

5th century Baghdad could probably be said to be the time and place where the conflict between Ashʿarīs and Ḥanbalīs [Aṯharīs] was at its peak. Instead of pdf rebuttals, there were street fights and stabbings. Image Yet, despite the tensions in Baghdad back then, the Sunnīs from the 2 camps still cooperated to pursue important Islamic goals.

In The Gay Science, Nietzsche’s famous quote is mentioned:

The funny part is that this quote applies to Nietzsche himself.

The atheist mocks modesty in the Muslim world but forgets atheism doesn’t forbid nudity or promote decency. He ignores how U.S. states now allow topless women, sushi served on women’s bodies, naked car washes, and normalized strip dancing. 1/6 Image

Christian texts raise troubling questions: Jesus was stripped during baptism, crucifixion, and circumcision yet no clarity on his remains. Prophets and women were also told to strip, and some baptisms involved nudity. These issues are often overlooked. Image

Honestly, one of the most frustrating things in Christian apologetics is how they deflect when you bring up the horrors in the Old Testament like 1 Samuel 15:3, where God allegedly commands the killing of infants, women, babies, even animals. 1/4 Image They’ll say, “Oh, that’s the Old Testament,” or “We’re under a new covenant now.” Okay but do you still believe the Old Testament was divinely inspired? If yes, then you still believe God once ordered genocide. If no, then why is it in your Bible?

THREAD🧵Christianity or Nasraniyyah?

Christians of all sects believe that the correct name for the religion they embrace is (Christianity), and they see that the Holy Qur’an’s calling them Christians is a kind of insinuation or a name that does not express them.

But.........⏬ Is the word “Christians” mentioned in the New Testament?
Yes—it’s mentioned three times. The first is in Acts: “The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”
However, the writer doesn’t say who gave them this name, implying it wasn’t from the disciples themselves… ⏬ Image
